What simple things fill you with joy?

The King of Moo

For me:

The opening chord of A Hard Day's Night.

Runner's High.

Crisp, bright winter mornings.

Looking up at night and seeing the ancient light from incredibly distant stars.

When my MP3 player plays two songs from the same album in order when it's on shuffle.

Knowing I've done my job well, and enjoyed doing it.

Chocolate.

The English language put to beautiful use.


What little things put a smile on your face?

waking up naturally on my day off, no noise, no alarm, just coming around, then going downstairs making a coffee and chilling out knowing ive the whole day to myself!

Good food and a couple of glasses of wine and sex of course!

The first page of a new book that draws me in so much I know I'll be up all night reading it.

The smell of coffee in the morning.

Noticing the first leaves bundled in the gutters and on the ground under the trees in the autumn.

My new boots.

Crackling fires on a cold day.

Phone calls from old friends.

Being told by someone I admire that I've done excellent work.

The period between October and Christmas. My favourite time of year.

Wind and rain against the window on a day off.

Hot chocolate.

And so many more .

Putting on a clean, fresh pair of white socks twice a day.. Satisfys my OCD

Tombi!

I don't how much of a child I still am but some of the stuff they get away with on "kids" shows has me just thinking about it, grinning like an idiot and puts me in a great mood.

A bath when you come in cold.

My 15yr old son hugging me, kissing me and telling me he loves me every nite before he goes to bed. Oh and I love his hugs when he comes home from school. Just so nice to have loving children. That is the biggest blessing in my life.

Being loved by the man I love. Pure (and not so pure!) joy.

When you run for a bus and make it just in the nick of time

For the past ten years i couldn't smile properly because i had really ****ty teath and that was 3 weeks ago I cant stop smiling all the time ... Genuinely cost me a fricken fortune but being honest being able to smile properly just makes every day awesome..

Fresh jocks
Fresh socks
Fresh sheets
Long warm showers with lots of shower gel
A warm hug when you're cold
A new hoodie
The electric blanket on a cold winters night

Animals being friends.

The *pop* sound when you uncork a bottle of wine, followed swiftly by the soft *bloop bloop bloop* of the wine pouring into the glass.

hidinginthebush

Floating on my back in the sea and looking up at the sky.

Looking at the sunrise.

Both these activities are completely free and fill you with such an overwhelming peace, feels good man.

some random drunk

Walking behind a hot girl wearing those tight black leggings.

Accidentally getting 2 bars from a vending machine.

Arriving at a luas/bus stop and seeing there's a tram/bus due in 1 min.

Waking up early on a Saturday morning, momentarily forgetting it's Saturday and then remembering.

KKkitty

My sons wanting cuddles. When the youngest farts he points to himself smiling saying I farted as if he's proud of himself. The other night my oldest decided he wanted to read his own bedtime story and it came to the word follows and he pronounced it correctly on his first attempt. My fiancé holding me in my arms too.

meoklmrk91

Coming home after a long, hard day to a silent empty house.

When the cat comes and sits on my lap for cuddles, especially the sound of her purring.

Just having my dog around me.

Waking up early on a weekend morning and realising that I can turn over and go back to sleep.

Going to bed with a hot water bottle.

Having a much needed smoke.

Listening to great music in the car with the window rolled down the whole way on a nice day.

Opening a new jar of coffee.

Sleeping.

Wee Willy Harris

A long, long walk certainly lifts the mood and revitalizes wee willy.

My son. Even when he's driving me crazy:)

Cuddles and chats with my OH. I love that we can tell each other anything.

Walks on a crisp, dry day.

Crunchy leaves on said walk.

Buzz from running.

Being close to, or in the sea.

My furbabies.

I don't have children myself but i have 8 nephews and nieces and at the risk of sounding soppy i would have to say that a lot of the simple things that fill me with joy would probably have involved them. Things like the first time each of them said my name, gave me a hug or kiss, actually this list could go on and on lol It's just silly little things sometimes but they brighten my day all the same

Another would be when 2 of my nephews decided to break ranks from their chelsea supporting parents and siblings and come over to my team-Liverpool
All my siblings support Chelsea so that was joyous to say the least lol

Also in there would have to be waking up to the sun shining through your window, can't beat that feeling.

bronte

The smell of fresh cut grass.
The scent of my bfs hair.
Talking to my best friend about something we love.
That first cup of tea in the morning.
Lighting a fire and turning the lights off in the room and just watching it.
And spooning

Pottler

The smell of a new Ferrari, tickets for the Orient express and the gleam off a small stack of gold bars. Simple is best. So right Op.

Tried it once when young, mislead and stupid. Ecstatic as it was, it's not worth the risk and I'd well more advise holding your poo in as long as possible and then releasing it all at once.

A seriously joyous achievement.

That first cup of tea of the day. *aaaahhhhhhh*

You really love Madonna that much?

I love when you plan to meet a few friends for one or two drinks in the afternoon and the craic is so good that you stay on for hours. Not getting hammered drunk or anything, just enjoying the banter.

Some of the most fun times are in the pub with friends and not drinking, just laughing and acting the eejit. Thats what the beer garden in An Poc Fada on a Sunday afternoon is for! Bliss.

It's euphoric, kind of like having a big poo.
